Cash has discovered the existance of art. He recently found a sculpture of a golden retriever that caught his interest. I'm not sure what he thought of it - but he sure did think it was worth investigating! I loved the light in the picture so I thought I'd post his moment

Whoever said that Golden Retrievers were naturals in the water didn't know my Sophie. We have been trying for 4 years to overcome a severe case of hydrophobia! Previous journeys near water resulted in screaming fits and racing panic in the dog...but not anymore! Sophie has channeled her inner swimmer and found the courage to take the big plunge! She is now a retrieving fool for the dummy in the water!

An interesting side note on today's adventure...

The flock of geese that has joined our farm was also swimming today. Sophie was so focussed on me and the dummy that she barely noticed the other bathers! She never even thought about leaving our fun to go chase the birdies. This, in itself, is a huge milestone for the Sofa Dog.

Sophie's very first weekend out in agility yielded a first place and perfect score in her Jumpers Run, June 15, 2008, at the JAG trial in Jamesburg, NJ.Her second weekend out yielded another first place and perfect score in her Standard Run, June 21, 2008, at the PVGRC trial in Westminster, MD.

Cash has found his first agility obstacles and thinks VERY highly of them! The tunnel was a breeze and he is already doing 'U' shaped tunnels! The tippy board or baby teeter is another favorite to play with.
